What happened
Tyler Nims of the Law Enforcement Misconduct Investigative Office at the New York State Attorney General’s Office testified before lawmakers about the risks of Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) in New York. Nims stated that without adequate regulation, ALPRs could be used to track immigrants, lawful protesters, or people seeking reproductive or gender-affirming health care. Lawmakers are debating laws to control how images are used, who can view them, and how long they can be stored, noting that New Hampshire allows images to be kept for three minutes while New Jersey allows three years.
